To all whomfit may concern:

Be it known tlint l, ZEBULON Divis, of Cleveland, in the countyofCuyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in VnporStoves; and l do hereby declare the following to bee full, clear, 'and exact description of the invention, such as ,willenable others, skilled in the nrt to which it pertains to make end useit, reference be ing had to the accompanying drawings, which form partof this Speeitieation.

My invention relates to -an improvement in vapor burners; and itconsists in, first, the` combination of the induction-tube, having-.iieonibustion-ehnmber formed upon its top'vith the egener-at,ing-chamber,which is made in a separate and distinct pieee, and which is placed uponthe top o'f the eonibustion-eheinber,there being let't a suliicientspat-@between the two parts to allow the generatiiucf-tlzinn` to passout between them; second, the combination ot' the generating chamber,having, an opening through its center und a suitably-Shaped reeess inits top, withv e removable perforated Crip, which is placed upon the topoi' the ehnmber and over the openingnnd recess; ti rd, the combinationof the generatiiig-chamber, having an opening,` through its center and asuitable recess in its iop, with u lever, upon which the perforated capis placed, and by ineaue of which lever the cap can be moved over. or loone side of the opening through the chamber, as maybe desired, andfourth, the eoinhi nation ofthe iu( luetion-tuhe, having theeonihuetionchainbert'ormed upon its top,.with the generatingehaniberhaving;` an opening through its center, a suihibly-shuped recess in itsybottoni ind another recess in its top, and n le\ er for moving,` theperforated cap barok and torth in relation to the openiirtg through theeenter ot, `the chamber, :ill ol' which will be more t'nlly describedhereinafter.

The object ol' my invention is 'to produee :i vapor-burner which isadapted for use in eonneotion with :t vapor-stove of the ordinaryconstruction, but nhieh is Specially intended for plumbers and tinnereuse, :ind by ineens ol' which either n quiet steady [laine may be pre1duced, for heating purposes, or a ,forcible blow- Vpipe llame, which isspecially adapted for use in plumbers furneeeS:

serve rto 'raise 'the generating-chamber sinh- -,c iently above the topof the combustion-cham ber izo-"leave` a small 'op ening',a, between thevgen erating-chamber. and .the upper edge of the 5 combustion-chamber,as shown'in Figs. 1 and '4;sothat v.thegenerating-dame can pass betweenthem while theburner is being used to produce alqn'iet heating-dame'.This lgener- I/ating-ilanieis not produced while lthe perforgnrated capis moved to obeside so as toprqduce ima plumbers llame. I' -Pivotedat'one side of thegeneratingchain-` ber is a lever or handle, J', .uponthe inner end fof which theperforated cap is placed. lWhen f5' this capis moved directly over-the top o'f the generating-chamber, all of thevapor is made topass through this-cap, and then Aonlya'cuietheatingfiiameds produced.' It is while this Vcapjs'iii-positionthat thegenerating-dame. z 0- rises around the edge of thegeneratirig-charmlber. When thefle'ver or handle is moved .so as tocarry this'perforatedcap to' one SidC, tl 1en aI plumbers;flame is-produced; "f

' .Heretoforea 'convertibletinners and plumb ers furnace has been made;but never has there before `beenmade a burner which would produceeitherjaquiet'heating-flame or a plumbers Hameau qw-illof the operator.`A patent was grantedftoine for a convertible fur` nace which could` beused by either a tinner or a plumber;v but th'efburner was' notconvertir-ble and the flameculd not'fbe changedfrom a noiseless to aforcible ,blow-pipe flame. This patent bears date of February 2'4, 1885,andy No. 312,825. l A burner which is suitableior use Ain heating-toolsfora t'inner must be qiet, `inasmuch as it is use din a building; butaquietflame is" l .-not sufficiently powerful for'a plumbers use, 4o andhence l a burner which is not"convertible will nota'nswer for-thepurposes of both. The 'I objectof this invention has been to produceaburner whichris suitable either for a plumbers 'orvaftinnerrs uselby'simply moving the handle 4'5 orileve-r which carries the perforatedcap.

s fi-In Fig. 1 is shown an apparatus in connecftiouwith a burner, andwhich is adapted to ,b'eused-either for a plumbers or a tinners .'iQfurn'ace, Around the burner is placedl an v5o outer sheet-iron drum orhoodT L, and inside/ ofthis hoodis placed the iron lining`l\l,which` Aisprovided'witha hinged lid, O so as to shut` l '-in the-heat. when being.used .by a ti-nner.-4 When the Afurnace, isbeing u'sedbyla plumber,551-'the `liningNis -entirelyirejmoved,.

I do not'li'mit myself to any precise con- 8o vsinuctionor arrangement of parts,'for this may be varied at will withoutvdeparting from the spirit of my invention.
